A Gaussian Process Approximation for a two-color Randomly Reinforced Urns
Abstract
We prove a Gaussian process approximation for the sequence of random compositions of a two-color randomly reinforced urn for both the cases with the equal and unequal reinforcement means. By using the Gaussian approximation, the law of the iterated logarithm and the functional limit central limit theorem in both the stable convergence sense and the almost-sure conditional convergence sense are established. Also as a consequence, we are able to to prove that the distribution of the urn composition has no points masses both when the reinforcement means are equal and unequal under the assumption of only finite $(2+\epsilon)$-th moments.
